We had heard some “back channel rumblings” about some big Rock Band news coming this week. My prediction was that we were going to see some sort of Rock Band World app, but it looks like something else entirely. In honor of the five-year anniversary of Rock Band, starting this week, Harmonix is offering a sale on over 1,100 songs available in the Rock Band Music Store on all platforms! For both track packs and singles, many songs will be 50% off!

Harmonix cautioned that with such a massive undertaking, there may be a few hiccups along the way, but the expected discounting roll out should be live on Tuesday, September 18th by noon for Xbox 360 (worldwide) and whenever the Wii and PSN stores get updated on Tuesdays. (Sony Europe fans will have to wait a day longer, as their store is updated on Wednesdays.)

UPDATE: As @RockBand let us know, the sale covers ALL originally priced $1.99 pre-Rock Band 3 era DLC. Harmonix has been deflecting answers to the question “How long is the sale for?” I’m reading between the lines here based on their responses such as “While supplies last,” my guess is that the discount is intended to be permanent, however they are not going that far to avoid being held to that in case one of the consoles decides to revert to the original pricing. We’ll update if their response becomes more clear.

I thik tis is an opportunity to take advantage of songs that have well reviewed gameplay, even if I wasn’t sure the song was that great. I suspect, like some on-disc tracks, the most fun ones will grow on me.
